Welcome!!!

Welcome to my world! I exist in a parallel between a Tim Burton fantasy and a Disney movie... believing that magic exists within the smallest of creatures and enjoying life's simple pleasures. Whether I'm cooking dinner and doing laundry or applying makeup to the coolest of rock goddesses.... I love life and every moment encompassed in everyday! Join me on my quirky quest for cosmetic addictions and life's cookiest adventures!

A break in the monotony!

It would seem that my prayers for guidance have been answered!  I am so happy to report that as of last Thursday I was offered a position with Estee Lauder!!!!!!  
Can you believe it?!  Of course I accepted the position and am so happy!   Not only has God provided me with a job, but doing something that I am so passionate about!   I started on Monday and have loved every minute of it!  My bosses are AMAZING, the job is wonderful, and the knowledge and training that I have been given thus far is priceless!!!  I am so excited to be using their products (a first for this cosmetic lover!) and cannot be more impressed!   I can't help but think how proud my Nanny would be and that maybe she had a little something to do with this... a former model and a lover of cosmetics it was she who taught my mother about makeup and my mother taught me. I used to love sitting and watching my mom get ready in the morning and the happiest day of my year (as a child) was the day of the dance recital!  We would wear awesome costumes and makeup all day! Halloween is also a favorite because you get to dressup.  I digress......  I get compliments daily on my eyeliner - every single day and I have to thank Nanny for that.  She taught me how to do the perfect "cat" eyeliner and also how to shape my brows "they are the frame to your eyes and the highest point of your arch should be just next to the center of your eye".   Daily reminders of how influential she was to my life and I know she is proudly looking down at me fulfilling a dream!  

Go for your dreams! Even if you think you aren't qualified and there is no way you will get the job - go for it!  You never know who is willing to give you a chance!!


and in addition to all of this happiness, my husband is home for a visit!  4 long weeks since we had seen one another and he shows up at 2am to surprise me!   The blessings are so abundant and I am forever grateful for every one of them!
